More than 20 ways to play for kids! Beach and ocean sensory play ideas from slime, to small worlds, to play dough, there are many great ideas here.


 

Nothing says summer like a little ocean and beach themed play! If you live near an ocean, these might be near the top of your list, and if you don’t, this is a really fun way to play as if you are! Sensory play is really wonderful for kids to engage in, and by using all of their senses, kids are more likely to retain and process information.

20+ Beach and Ocean Sensory Play Ideas for Kids

There are so many great ways to play on this list! Some of them can even be taken outdoors for easier cleanup, and fun ways to beat the summer heat.

We even like to make colored sand while at the beach to build with, check it out below!

Grab your food coloring and head to the beach. We are SO doing this next time we go!

One of our favorite summer slimes is this ocean slime that just so happens to be great with our Moana toys 🙂
